Sandy paid tribute to Mick MacRobb, a Victorian sea kayaker, who sadly passed away while Sandy was planning her final crossing. Mick was known to many in the NSWSKC as a regular RNR attendee and owner of Flat Earth Kayak Sails.

Sandy's sea kayaking stories are inspirational. More information about Sandy's journey, following the steps of German Adventurer Oskar Speck, can be found on Sandy's website. Many have been following Sandy's progress on Facebook.
